Mobile teaching and learning of coupled-line structures : the multiple-1D coupled-line finite-difference time-domain method

In this article, we present mobile teaching and learning of coupled-line structures using the multiple-1D coupled-line finite-difference time-domain (M1D CL-FDTD) method. The formulation of the M1D CL-FDTD method applicable for CL structures is provided. The method bypasses the more computationally...
